Hey, don't joke about that!  Many SO2R operators prefer to use two
keyboards, with two PCs side by side.  But then they have to use hardware
lockout circuits to prevent transmitting on both rigs at once.  Ugh.

Many SO2R ops think it would be great if you could network two Win-Test
computers for SO2R mode, with software lockout and message queuing, e.g.,
press [F4] on keyboard two to call a mult on Radio 2, then immediately press
[F1] on keyboard 1 to queue up a CQ message on radio 1, a message that will
only be sent after the [F4] finishes sending your call on Rig 2.

To do the same thing in Win-Test today requires many more keystrokes,
careful timing, or lots of complex scenario programming and S&P message
programming.
